Chapter 290: Mind Reading
"Who on earth are you..."
Leaning against the cold door, Lu Qingqing couldn't stop shivering, "No wonder the three male protagonists have changed so much, have you awakened too?"
[How dare an ant compare itself to my host! ]
The system exploded in his mind. Su Cheng lowered his eyes and gently lifted her chin with a dagger. The smile in his eyes did not reach the depths. "You and I are worlds apart."
Tears welled up in Lu Qingqing's eyes as she strained to see how close the knife tip was to her throat. Her voice trembled, "Sister... I didn't mean to be your enemy. My gambling uncle sold me to a brothel when I was little. Just as the madam was about to let me serve as a prostitute, I accidentally hit my head and realized the world I live in is just a storybook."
"Sister, I was forced into a corner by life, and had no choice but to seek out the eldest prince."
Big tears rolled down her cheeks. Lu Qingqing bit her lower lip. She looked pitiful crying, but she was thinking secretly in her heart.
All the women who were sent to the Xie family by the eldest prince were sent back. Some of them leaked that Miss Zhao gave each of them twenty taels of silver.
Being too kind is stupid.
All I need to do is shed two tears, and I'll be worried about not being able to control her?
[Host, mind reading is activated. This Lu Qingqing who showed up unexpectedly is really not a good person! ]
Su Cheng glanced at her lazily, turned his wrist, and the sharp tip of the knife drew a bloody mark on her fair neck.
"Ah!" Lu Qingqing screamed in fear, her body leaning against the door, completely limp. "You...why won't you let me go?"
"According to everything you know, it's only late autumn now. Prince Qin and Prince Ruyang should be locked in a fierce battle." Su Cheng spoke with great interest, lowering his eyes to look at the horrified Lu Qingqing as if he were examining an insignificant ant. "Guess why, after a month back in Beijing, Prince Qin Huo Beiting hasn't appeared?"
"It's you..." Lu Qingqing was really scared at this time, and her heart almost jumped out of her throat.
She had long heard the news that the King was executed on the spot for treason, and she originally thought that her awakening had caused the story to deviate, but she didn't expect...
Someone actually took action first.
"It's you, isn't it?"
Su Cheng's soft laugh echoed in the dilapidated temple. She looked at the beads of sweat rolling down Lu Qingqing's forehead and raised her eyebrows slightly, "Are you scared?"
Her whisper made Lu Qingqing tremble all over, and she couldn't even maintain the most basic decency.
"Before his death, Huo Beiting was completely bewildered, unable to understand why all his schemes had come to nothing. No matter what new ideas he came up with, the enemy could easily resolve them." Su Cheng lowered his eyes to look at the blood on the tip of the knife, gently wiping it clean with Lu Qingqing's collar. "And in the plot, Yan Sheng, who you had decided to follow, was eliminated from the game from the very beginning."
"Do you think you can win if you know everything?"
"The plot cannot be shaken, orthodoxy will always be orthodoxy."
"Even without me, Huo Beiting would be doomed. Prince Ruyang is powerful, and with the Xie brothers' support, it's only a matter of time before the country falls into his hands." Su Cheng raised the corners of his mouth, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes, and he looked at her as if he were looking at a corpse. "The so-called male protagonist in the book should be Yan Ci."
He is favored by his father, the emperor, and has countless loyal ministers and generals. There are many people who are willing to go through fire and water for him.
No matter how capable a minister is, if he follows the wrong master, he will surely die.
"How is it possible..." Lu Qingqing breathed heavily, with a strong hatred and unwillingness flashing in her eyes, "Could it be that all my calculations are nonsense?"
Lu Qingqing felt weak and powerless. She closed her eyes, and her mind kept replaying the time when she lived in the brothel. She was often beaten, scolded, and starved. She was also molested by dirty customers countless times.
Days like this...
She doesn't want to live here again!
Lu Qingqing suddenly opened her eyes and slammed her head against Su Cheng, shouting, "Bitch, die!"
Su Cheng dodged, but was hit on the wrist by her, and the dagger fell to the ground with a clang.
Lu Qingqing broke free from the hemp rope on her hands. She had been quietly preparing during the confrontation just now. She picked up the dagger, rolled on the ground, and neatly tore off the rope on her feet.
Pointing the knife at Su Cheng, Lu Qingqing flashed a sinister smile. "The most fundamental difference between you and me is that I'm used to suffering. I've struggled through thick and thin to get to where I am today. You want me to give in with just a few words? Dream on."
"Miss Zhao, you are a daughter of a rich family. You are completely different from me, who crawled out of hell." Lu Qingqing approached gradually, murderous intent flashing in her eyes. "As long as you die, I will be the only one in this world who is destined to be saved."
"It's a pity that you even lost your last chance." Su Cheng took two steps back, approached the temple gate, and pulled her pink lips lazily, without the panic that Lu Qingqing had imagined.
With the ability to read minds, how could Su Cheng not know her little movements?
"Jinyu, kill her."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door behind Su Cheng was slowly opened, revealing that sinister and handsome face.
Xie Jinyu narrowed her eyes slightly, and her gaze slowly shifted from the girl in front of her to the short knife in her hand opposite her. She raised her eyebrows and smiled gently, "I admire your courage."
After saying that, in front of Lu Qingqing's shocked eyes, he slowly took out his pistol and pointed it at her head.
Xie Jinyu raised her lips, her wide sleeves slipped down to reveal half of her wrists, a faint light flashed in her eyes, "In your next life, remember to choose a soft persimmon to squeeze."
"Wait... wait!" Lu Qingqing was about to be consumed by jealousy and unwillingness. She pointed the tip of the knife at the woman opposite and shouted, "Do you think she is a good person? Wake up! Su Cheng is no different from me. She is also an awakened one. She is only good to you for her own benefit-"
With a bang,
A huge sound echoed in the ruined temple. Lu Qingqing's skull was shattered and most of her hair was burnt. It was a horrible sight.
Su Cheng turned his head away and saw Xie Jinyu slowly putting away her pistol. He was a little moved. "Why don't you listen to her?"
"Why bother to say everything to a dying person?" Xie Jinyu didn't feel she had done anything wrong at all. Instead, she was proud of it. "She scolded Ah Cheng, and I didn't like it, so I sent her to see the King of Hell a moment earlier."
Along the way, Su Cheng looked at the hand he held tightly, her pink lips slightly parted, and she asked softly, "What if what she said is true?"
Xie Jinyu didn't even turn her head, her tone tinged with a hint of laughter, "What is true?"
Su Cheng took a deep breath and lowered her face slightly, "I'm good to you guys, and it was indeed profitable at the beginning."
"At least we have something you care about, don't we?" Xie Jinyu looked back and chuckled. He had changed into a scarlet robe today, which made his complexion look even colder and whiter like porcelain. "What I fear most is... that you don't want anything."
